Re: Multimeter
I really would suggest buying the best one you can afford . It will be more accurate and have more functions. I used Fluger Digitals in the HVAC industry and they never let me down. Sears, Has good units also. Home Cheapo units look pretty good for the price , HF ones are to be left bouncin around in the Jeep cause you can buy another one and not have to skip supper. FjR68
Re: Multimeter
The clamp style can be handy to have if you want to read current... I have a clamp that has regular leads for voltage / resistance... no special brand... works ok.

Re: Multimeter
Yup! I have a spare one, yours if you want it. It's a 'benefit' of a HF in your town..... going in for no particular reason, and walking out with 'things you can't live without'johnsxj wrote:Lowest price is "Free with any purchase" coupin in the HF ads
That's the money question. If you just need to borrow one, I have a good Fluke 87Kurt wrote:What kind of feature and functions are you looking for?
(if I remember, I'll bring one or both tomorrow to GTD)

Re: Multimeter
I'm looking for one to keep a read on the battery system Kurt is helping me build. Deep cycle battery with 12 V out put and solar recharge. Also want to have it for whatever jeep needs may come up.

Re: Multimeter
If you are buildING something check ebay... you can buy small LCD voltage / current panel mount displays for cheap. Go with induction current meters, not the shunt type.
